Laminate flooring is the newest, most innovative flooring material available, made to endure lots of abuse. Laminates are considered more practical than wood and more durable than vinyl. They are installed as a floating floor, which means it isn't glued or nailed to the sub floor. Friends & Family will help guide you through the many choices available, and select the right laminate for your home, office and budget. Some considerations:

• Laminate floors combine natural looking designs with a tough, durable finish and can be used in almost any area of the home.

• Laminates give you the realistic look of wood, tile and stone at lower cost.

• Floors won't scratch easily and are ideal for homes with kids and pets.

• It's very easy to install, and easy to join into other floors, with interlocking floating pieces that attach to each other with no glue needed.
